A House

We could buy a house Somewhere on the water Sit outside when sunset comes And make out by the sea I'll paint the walls with flowers And we could get a cat And wake up every morning knowing That we're happy like that And love I've been burning To tell you the truth When I picture my life I know There's no life without you And love I've been yearning To hold you for good And I'll never be whole Till I wander back home to you Or maybe in the mountains Where the trees grow tall Spend the evenings walking slow Through the leaves as they fall Hold me as the sun rises In the glow of the sheets And tell me that you love me No, you don't need to speak And love I've been burning To tell you the truth When I picture my life I know There's no life without you And love I've been yearning To hold you for good And I'll never be whole Till I wander back home to you Too many years without you They've weighed me down Too many days longing for you Heart hollowed out But just think, a little house With the shutters dark green A piano in the sitting room And a bookshelf for me Now please don't misunderstand me I know we're still young But it's all that I hold to When the waiting's begun Half of my heart is yours And it breaks when you leave And no matter how far you go It still cries when it beats Oh, love I've been burning To tell you the truth When I picture my life I know There's no life without you And love I've been yearning To hold you for good And I'll never be whole Till I wander back home to you
